So sorry to hear you are still symptomatic after your recent "re-do" surgery. Four months, though, does not seem (to me) long enough to figure out whether the scalenectomy will ultimately help you or not. I remember Dr. Ahn saying when I was considering this surgery that it is actually a much harder recovery than the 1st rib resection. I took that to mean it may take longer than the 12- to 18-month recovery period most of the top TOS docs allow for with the rib resection, for neurogenic cases anyway. I could be wrong, but I want to tell you to hang in there a bit longer and try not to get discouraged. (I know it's hard, believe me!)

Also, you might want to see if you can do PT with Joyce Wilkenson if you're not progressing with Lider Chan. She's in Sta. Monica, I think. Very TOS-savvy and people love her technique. Her contact info is listed in the Drs. and PT sticky at the top of the forum.

I wish you the best of luck with your recovery. This stuff ain't none of it easy!
